Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales. "God’s arms!" exclaimed one of these debauchees, "Is the fellow then so dangerous to meet? In highways and in byways, street by street, I’ll seek him out, I vow it on God’s bones. Now listen, fellows: let us three be one, Each of us hold his hand up to the other, And each of us become the other’s brother, And we will kill this black betrayer, Death, And kill the killer, by God’s holy breath, And that before the sun goes down on us!" Which statement best describes how the speaker in the excerpt is characterized?

a.He is impassioned and persuasive.
b.He is pessimistic and mournful.
c.He is friendly and humorous.
d.He is clear-headed and sensible.

Pardoner in The Canterbury Tales is characterized as a well-read. But he is greedy, as he uses his profession of being a Pardoner and misuses the church objects.

In his prologue, he tells that he always preaches on "Radix Malorum est cupidatis" which means that love of money is the root cause of all evil. From his tale, one can perceive that Pardoner is impassioned and persuasive because he inputs the emotions of fear in his sermons and then able to persuade his listeners to put relics in his bag.

So, the correct answer is option A.
